Days gone by.

James Lileks

"Today while driving daughter to work we were having a conversation about
school shootings. I was talking about Fargo when I was young, how this
simply didn’t happen, how there were guns in everyone’s rumpus room, or
at least dad’s drawer, because chances are he was in WW2 or Korea. How
my dad taught me about guns and how I learned to shoot and learned that I
didn’t want to. She was telling me that Fargo of my childhood is no
longer applicable, and I suppose she’s right"

Correct, Natalie. That far gone Fargo is not applicable. Unless you decide it to be. It can be that way again, and all it takes is will. It's not even a heavy lift.

And her father sorta says the same thing in the blog post. RTWT, as the kids say.

Good Advice

"You never select a shotgun as your primary anti-zombie firearm. It's great for onesy twosey, but zombies travel in hordes. The reload time is onerous, and the ammo, while effective, is heavy and bulky and short ranged."

Big Mistake for Her

If Ginsberg had let Scalia put the words "strict scrutiny" in Heller and Hillary said "Gun control is just not going to be a priority for my administration," Hillary would have been elected President.
